David Moyes in driving seat with three familiar passengers

New Manchester United manager David Moyes today confirmed the arrival of three trusted members of his Everton backroom team.

As expected, Steve Round will become Moyes’s assistant manager, Chris Woods is installed as goalkeeping coach, with Jimmy Lumsden named coach.

“I have worked with Steve, Chris and Jimmy for a number of years and I am delighted they have decided to join me at this great club,” said Moyes (above), who arrived at Carrington at 8am this morning for his first official day in charge.

The trio replace Mike Phelan, Rene Meulensteen and Eric Steele, who have all been released following Sir Alex Ferguson’s decision to retire in May.

Moyes added: “They bring great qualities and I know that, like me, they feel that this is a challenge to relish. I have great faith that we can build upon the success at this club.”
